Thank You Hi Curt, If you want to limit save locations to a fixed list of relatively few options, you could place a ComboBox (or ListBox) on the form and populate it at runtime. Then you obtain the user's selection when they click "Save" or whatever and translate the result into a pathname. The code for this is simple, but the down-side is the list must be maintained in code. That said, there are ways to make this method dynamic by looking for the values in an external source. Form_Initialize: Combobox1.additem "Location 1" Combobox1.additem "Location 2" cmdSave_click(): Select Case Combobox1.Value Case "Location 1" MyPath = "C:\UserDocs\" Case "Location 2" MyPath = "\\server\share\UserPath\" End Select Alternatively, if you would rather allow the user to browse for a location, you can invoke the Windows Save dialog. It's been some time since I used this so offhand I don't remember how but I'm sure I (or someone) can dig it up. |
